Tiers of Joy

My wife and I contacted Tiers of Joy when we found out the cake we would be getting as part of our destination wedding package wouldn’t be large enough to serve our party of 12 – 15. Leigh was very helpful in recommending cake options which helped in our cake selection process. The fact that we saw excellent reviews on Unilocal and great photos on the Facebook page helped to alleviate some of the concerns we had with buying from a vendor we had never met in person and didn’t have local access to.
On the day of the wedding, my wife and I had to head out early for photos prior to our ceremony but we coordinated the cake delivery with Leigh and our hotel where the reception was held. When arrived back at the hotel that evening, we were very pleased with what we had received. The cake was beautiful to look at and more importantly, a delight for the tastebuds. Everyone complimented us on how great the cake tasted.
If you’re on the fence about buying a cake sight unseen, I hope this helps alleviate some of those fears. I would highly recommend Tiers of Joy to anyone looking for a cake for their wedding day!

We hired Tiers of Joy to make a beautiful sea shell two tiered cake for a very small wedding we had in Hawaii. The cutest part was that it had two white beach chairs at the top with Mr. and Mrs. signs on it. I believe their website has a photo of it. It was a destination wedding and we had the cake delivered to the restaurant where we were all eating that night. The couple was so happy and surprised and loved the cake so much. It was beautiful and people at the restaurant wanted to know where we got the cake from because it was so beautiful. We also ended up sharing the cake with a lot of the customers at the restaurant and everyone was raving about how delicious it was. It’s rare to find a place that has both the beauty and art of the cake and good taste as well. Tiers of Joy definitely had both and we were very happy with it!

The wedding cake from Tiers Of Joy was amazing. We had so many compliments from our guests. Leigh had to work around a major parade through Waikiki and got the cake there on time. If you want an excellent wedding cake, contact Tiers of Joy.

Leigh was awesome! She was able to create a beautiful wedding cake from the pictures we went over in our meeting that not only looked good, but tasted AMAZING! Everyone was talking about how amazing our cake was! We will definitely use her in the future and recommend her to anyone who wants a beautiful cake that actually tastes delicious!

I contacted Tiers of Joy for information on her cakes, she was great! I was able to create my own cake design, 4 tiers, multi-​color, beach themed cake.
The day of my wedding, I was so excited to see the final product and it was Beautiful!!! Leigh made my experience one of the best. Fast forward, one year later, I contacted Leigh last minute to order a replica of my cake, 2 tiers and with no hesitation, she said she could do it. Picked my cake up today and again, absolutely beautiful!
Reasonably priced, cake was soooooo good, so fresh & absolutely delicious. I can’t wait to celebrate tomorrow, 1 year, and enjoy our cake and make memories.
I highly recommend Tiers of Joy. Leigh rises above all because of her passion, making our day memorable, creativity and most of all, excellent customer service.

Leigh does absolutely fantastic work! Like many others on here, I planned a destination wedding from the mainland and couldn’t make it over to Oahu before the wedding. I did everything on line and for my cake, I put my faith in Leigh.
She blew me away! My cake was absolutely beautiful! It was clean and exactly as I had requested. And because Leigh only works in butter cream, it not only looked good but it tasted fantastic. We really loved the tropical tango flavor. Not only were people asking for seconds, they wanted to take the extra home with them.
And Leigh was such an easy person to work with. I don’t hesitate a second in recommending her services!

Planning a wedding from afar can be difficult. Leigh was great. I sent her some pictures of what I wanted and she got it perfect. I couldn’t have been happier with the design and the taste. You can’t go wrong with Tiers of Joy.

I found Tiers of Joy through Pinterest (Leigh makes some beautiful looking cakes) and fell in love with the description for the Tropical Tango cake. Since I was planning my Hawaii wedding from afar, I couldn’t do a taste test but I trusted previous reviewers and went ahead and booked Leigh’s services for our big day. We were able to agree on a design that fit my budget and vision. On the day of my wedding, Leigh delivered the cake on time and it looked exactly as described. The taste was unbelievable. I can’t stop thinking about this cake! Everyone raved about it. Luckily we had some leftover to eat the day after the wedding. We’re hoping to come back to Hawaii next year for our one-​year anniversary and would love to order a replica of the cake to enjoy again.

Leigh was wonderful to work with. She made our decision making easy with no fuss. On the day of the wedding, she delivered the cake as promised and everyone loved it. I highly recommend Leigh of Tiers of Joy for your wedding cake. She will not disappoint you!

Tiers of Joy is the best possible place to order your wedding cake from. Leigh has so much passion for her work. She went above and beyond to ensure my wedding cake was delicious and extremely beautiful.
I especially love how Leigh designs your cake tasting experience. When you go for a cake tasting she has you pick your flavors ahead of time. Then she actually bakes you a mini layered cake so you can truly experience the texture and flavor of what your wedding cake will be like. We had gone to a tasting at a different bakery (before we met Leigh at Tiers of Joy) and they had us try various cake flavors by tasting mini cupcakes. Well, the cupcakes were so tiny that they were overcooked and hard, it was a little concerning, how could we be sure they wouldn’t over cook the wedding cake? Additionally, they did not offer buttercream, only fondant! I know fondant can look beautiful, I just don’t think it tastes very good. The baker told me I could just have my guests peel it off. Really? Why would I spend over $ 600 on cake just to have my guests peel off the frosting because it doesn’t taste good?
Leigh on the other hand has a completely different philosophy! Her mini layered tasting cakes, are delicious. The cakes were moist and her frosting is homemade buttercream. What surprised me (and delighted me) the most is how protective she was over our wedding cake. She went to great lengths to 100% make sure our cake 1) looked exactly how we wanted, 2) would not be ruined in the hot sun, and 3) tasted amazing. She has so much pride in her work and was determined my wedding cake would be the best cake on earth! I love Leigh and I can’t wait until my next cake worthy celebration!

I have used Tiers of Joy for two events already and would use them again. We used them for our Wedding cake and my daughters Birthday cake. We had so many comments on them both! The owner Leigh is amazing and talented. By far the best tasting cakes ever. She makes them with REAL fruit, not the pureed stuff. You just tell her what you want or what you are thinking of and she delivers. You will be AMAZED.

Wow oh Wow! That’s what I have to say about Leigh and her professionalism and artistic cake mastery!!! Our wedding cake had a «glow» of it’s own on our wedding day I was so amazed at how perfect the buttercream frosting was! Fondant looks awesome but tastes nasty but Leigh made the cake better than that AND it tasted good! I contacted several other vendors on the island and Leigh was fastest to respond with availability. She recommended we choose the tropical tango lilikoi mousse with fresh mango and white cake. I was so excited to have an island flavored cake rather than something like red velvet. (Which I love-​lol). My guests saw the cake and immediately fell in love with it! We had some minor issues with our reception location… they kind of had the cake in too cold of a fridge so their pastry chef had to Re-​frost some of it. Anyways the original cake was perfect it was still perfect after the minor technical difficulty. In all my pictures the cake just looked like it had this aurora around it! A beautiful powder blue cake with the most perfect fresh white orchids I’ve ever seen!
Brides do yourself a favor and do not sacrifice flavor for looks! Order from tiers of joy you will be speechless with how your cake looks and tastes!
Also Leigh always personally responded to all of my emails within the same day… she’s excellent! The cake was very reasonable and my family ate the leftovers the next day! It was still epic!

Leigh made my wedding cake back in October 2013. It was five tiers and two different flavors. one flavor was the vanilla with the mango filling, the other was red velvet. My cake tasted SOOOO good. But what was even better was how beautiful it was!!!

Where do I begin? Leigh from tiers of joy is absolutely amazing! We had a destination wedding and met with Leigh for a free cake tasting, we fell in love with her delicious cake. She hand sketched the 3 tier cake with our wedding colors and was very detailed and listened to what we wanted. We ended up getting the passion fruit and raspberry chocolate flavors. I highly recommend them, my fiancé who doesn’t like cake loved Leigh’s cake and wanted more!
We communicated via email and she is very responsive and quick with replies. On our wedding day, all our guest commented on how wonderful the cake looked and more importantly how good it taste. Leigh doesn’t do fondant but she makes the cake look like it’s fondant with buttercream icing which is much more tasty!
Would definitely recommend tiers of joy for your next event!

This is a long-​overdue review of a wedding cake Leigh put together for my wife and me back in June 2012. This cake was stupidly delicious (we chose blackberry lemon) and simply but elegantly crafted. We did not have the benefit of budget to splurge on Leigh’s more elaborate designs, but despite this she was willing to work with us (and our rustic, DIY theme) on a very short timeline to craft an amazing three-​tiered buttercream-​trimmed masterpiece (see attached, if I can figure out how to attach a photo) which we decorated with the flowers and photo centerpiece you’ll see in the picture.
The reason I’m writing this review now is because we (sort of) recently celebrated our one-​year anniversary, and had kept the top tier of the cake in our freezer to commemorate the occasion. We pulled it out, thawed it out, and utterly destroyed it. It was delicious A YEAR LATER, and sent us back to all of the amazing memories from our wedding day.
Wedding cakes, in my experience, are typically a procedural necessity that don’t add much value to the wedding celebration. Yay, it’s shaped like Maui. Weee, she smushed it in his face. Mmmrgh, the frosting is all crusty and it tastes like the Safeway bakery clearance shelf. This will NOT be your experience with Tiers of Joy. Leigh’s cakes are a dessert worthy of such an epic occasion, and actually add to the magic of the event as opposed to detracting from it. Mazel tov!

Tiers of Joy made our wedding cake for our wedding reception on 8÷8÷13 and the cake was amazing! Leigh did such a wonderful job with our cake. We ordered a 3-​tier cake with their famous tropical tango flavor and it was so moist and delicious. I had an idea of what I wanted the cake to look like but couldn’t get an exact match until I was scrolling online through her cake pics and found a really pretty one with coral frosting flowers going up the side of the cake. I loved this design and Leigh made it perfectly. I served my cake to our 2 family tables and everyone loved it! They couldn’t get enough and asked if there was any cake left the next day, lol! We highly recommend Leigh to anyone looking for a beautiful cake that tastes delicious.

Love Leigh!!! Love her cakes, love her energy, love her taste! She really touched my heart during the whole process and I will forever be thankful :)

Leigh is awesome! I ordered a small two tier cake for my beach wedding. I thought it was great that she bakes a small sample cake for you to take home before deciding to purchase a cake. I wasn’t sure what flavor cake to get so I asked Leigh for her recommendations and she told me tropical tango was one of her popular flavors, so I decided to go with tropical tango. I was so glad that I did because the cake was absolutely delicious.
On my wedding day the cake arrived on time and looked so adorable. It was everything I had asked her to do. When my husband and I did our cake cutting we were excited to eat the cake and when I took my first bite I was blown away with how incredibly delicious it was! I’m not exaggerating when I say it was the best cake I’ve ever tasted in my life! I was tempted to eat the left overs for breakfast, lunch and dinner. My guests also loved the cake and some even asked for seconds. I would highly recommend Tiers of Joy, Leigh is very sweet and a talented baker!

Beautiful… AND… delicious.
This is the first cake I’ve seen (and eaten) that LOOKS like it’s made with fondant, but is really frosted with buttercream. OMG this makes it taste 1000x better! And yet it’s still so smooth and gorgeous!
I love how TOJ offer their own «signature flavors», such as Banana Foster, Strawberry Shortcake, Raspberry Chocolate, Truffle, Tirimisu, Tropical Tango, and Blackberry & Lemon. Leigh told me over the phone that the most popular in that category are Tropical Tango, and Blackberry & Lemon. I have some family members that are allergic to mangos, unfortunately, so I couldn’t pick tropical tango. We went with blackberry/​lemon and were so pleased with how delicious our cake tasted! All of our guests wanted seconds! The cake went from 3 tiers to 0 tiers in seconds flat! Haha. A true testament to just how good it is :)
Don’t even bother with a taste test! Trust me you cannot go wrong! Just go ahead and order it! :D

I had a great experience with Leigh/​Tiers of Joy. I had done a bit of research online of various bakeries in Hawaii and thought that Tiers of Joy provided a great looking cake for a decent price (with good reviews on Unilocal,too).
I planned my Hawaii wedding from California so all of our communication was over the phone or by email. I initially called Leigh to hear about her style and prices, and ended up ordering my wedding cake during that first phone call. She told me about her flavors, how she uses only buttercream (no fondant), and we went over ideas about how it would look. Leigh sent an online form to fill out and mail with the deposit.
I ordered the cake well in advance so Leigh and I didn’t talk for a while until a month before the wedding. Again, she was quick to respond to my emails confirming the order, and we went over last-​minute details such as the ribbon color, delivery time, etc. I handed her over to my wedding planner a few weeks before the wedding and they took care of the rest.
Fast forward to my wedding reception… my husband and I entered the room and were thrilled with how our cake looked! It was just as I imagined and fit perfectly with our colors and theme. Leigh accommodated a last minute change I had to use a cake topper (instead of flowers). We ordered the Tropical Tango flavor and it was delicious.
Much thanks to Leigh for a fantastic cake and great service.
